Sir George Hampson makes gratalis, Led., the type of his 
genus Goniorhynchus through misidentification, his description 
being made from a specimen of mznualis, Walker, which he 
believed to be identical with gratalis, Led.; but though super- 
ficially alike, they are very different insects. ‘The palpi of 
gratalis are described by Lederer and have been figured by 
Snellen as shown above, and the latter has very kindly sent 
me a specimen for examination; Snellen seems to have been 
perfectly ight in putting it in Meyrick’s genus Semioceros 
(see Trans. Ent. Soc. 1884, p. 318), but when describing this 
genus Meyrick overlooked the fact that murcalis=murcusalis, 
Walker, xix. 933, is the type of Walker’s genus Nacoleia, 
and that amphicedalis, Walker, is congeneric.

Sir George Hampson spells the name Metasciodes, but 
Meyrick’s name is without the c—Metastodes (like Metasia) ; 
he sinks Meyrick’s genus to Blepharomastix, a genus that 
was erected by Lederer for a group of purely American moths 
of delicate build and long narrow wings, having, I am of 
opinion, nothing in common with the species of Meyrick’s 
Metasiodes, and this Hampson again makes a subsection of 
the genus Nacoleta, Walker. 
Margaronia lucretila, nov. 
&. Palpi chestnut-brown, head chestnut-grey; a dark 
chestnut band on the collar; body and wings pure white; a 
chestnut-brown band from the costa of fore wings beyond the 
middle to the lower end of cell, where it joins a similarly
